Russian experts due in Cairo on Wednesday to decide on resumption of flights

CAIRO (Reuters) - A Russian delegation will arrive in Egypt on Wednesday to decide whether flights to the country should be resumed after a Russian passenger plane was blown up killing all on board last October.

The delegation of experts will assess security and technical reforms taken by Egypt, the Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

"A high-level Russian delegation will arrive in Cairo tomorrow to study whether flights can resume between Russia and Egypt," the ministry said.

The Airbus A321, operated by Metrojet, had been returning Russian holidaymakers from the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm al-Sheikh to St Petersburg when it broke up over Sinai, killing all 224 on board.
